html entities

[Monte Goulding]

If you don't want to use a lookup table then pulling out these entities using repeat while matchchunk and in the loop setting the htmltext of a second field and doing chartonum on the text of the field would work.

So for example, if I have a word in Spanish, like "día" (accented i), if I put that into a text field and get the htmlText property of that field, is there any way to return the string "d&#237;a" instead of "d&iacute;a"? When setting the htmlText property, either one works, but Rev always returns the latter.
